More Information: Generally, the Max/MSP course has the shape of an introduction workshop, followed by individual support throughout the 2-years MFA study. Don't hesitate to contact me for questions about the Max/MSP part of the programme:janklug@janklug.com

Comments: The entire course is based on a review of the Cycling ’74′s own tutorials in Max and MSP. These tutorials are a good way to learn the program and relatively easy to do on your own. The benefit of following the NOTAM courses, however, is that there will be help along the way. Because learning Max/MSP implies great challenges for people who do not have programming experience, we expect that most will benefit greatly from the course. We aim to ensure that you understand the material through assignments along the way.

More Information: Advanced course on the use of the Max programme and its extensions (MSP, Jitter,...) in the construction of interactive applications of musical and multimedia nature, mainly targeting the creation of installations and "new media" environments, VJ and IJ sessions, musical shows and performances. The course is designated for plastic artists, VJs, IJs, musicians, video, cinema directors interested in programming DIP and DSP. The candidates should bear computer user experience.

Comments: Myself and 2 others who attended a City Lit beginners Max class together last summer have arranged for some private tuition with a couple of Max experts, (I wont name them publicly but can let you know who they are privately). it's to take place in Goldsmiths College, day still to be decided but in the evening during the week. Unfortunately one of the 4 originally due to take the class has dropped out meaning we have a spare place for an intermediate Max user. The classes will be a minimum of 2 hours long and take place over 10 weeks for a total cost of £200, payable at £20pw. There is plenty of scope for having what you want to learn added to the curiculum. Please let me know your email address if interested, i don't see a way of sending private messages here. It's possible that, all being well, we'll start next week(week beginning 18th Jan 2010).

Comments: These are taught modules on the BSc Interactive Media Design,
MSc Interactive Media Design
BSc Digital Media and
MSC User Experience degrees. Modules are available on a part time module by module basis.
